FAQ

As a Rental Provider, do I need any form of insurance?

Yes, it is highly recommended that you have Building Insurance as well as Landlord Insurance.

Building Insurance protects your property against loss or damage caused by fire, storm, etcetera. And legal liability for an occurrence that causes death or bodily injury to other people, or damage to other people’s property within your property.

Landlord insurance is extremely important for a Rental Provider and protects you from loss of rental income as a result of an absconding Renter, defaulting Renter, untenantable property, damage by Renter, pet damage, damage to furnishings including carpets & blinds due to storm or fire.

Many insurance providers offer combined insurance which includes both of the above.

When is the best time to start my insurance cover?

Rental Providers – If you have just purchased a property, the best time to start is straight away – especially if the property is vacant and being advertised for rent because there is exposure to liability from the moment you or your agent begins showing potential Renters through the property.

Can my property manager lodge an insurance claim on my behalf?
As long as the policy holder has added the Property Manager on the Insurance Policy to have authority to deal with the insurance provider, the property manager can lodge a claim on the owner’s behalf.
What is the difference between a fixed term and a periodic (month to month) rental agreements?
Fixed term agreements have a start and end date. Periodic or month to month agreements do not have an end date. When a fixed-term rental agreement ends, it will automatically turn into a periodic agreement, unless either the Rental Provider or the Renter gives notice to end the agreement or chooses to start a new fixed-term agreement.
My Renter is on a periodic lease. Am I still covered by my landlord insurance policy?

Some insurance companies only cover you when there is a fixed term Rental Agreement in place. They may not cover Periodic Leases (month-to month). However, the better known insurance companies cover all leases. It is best to check with your insurance provider to insure you have adequate cover.

What can be done if the Renter is not maintaining the property well or has caused damage?

A notice of Breach of Duty can be issued to the Renter. The notice requires the Renter to either rectify the issues specified or pay compensation for any loss suffered by the Rental Provider because of the breach. Should the Renter not rectify the breach after consecutive notices, a Compensation or Compliance Order can be applied for at VCAT, or the relevant Notice to Vacate can be served.

What if a repair is completed and identified as damage that the Renter has caused?

A Rental Provider can request a Renter to make or pay for repairs if they caused the damage or fault. If the Renter arranges the repair, they must complete works within 14 days to a Tradesperson’s like standard. If not, Rental Provider may undertake the repairs at the Renter’s expense.

If the Rental Provider is to organise the repairs, they may ask the Renter to cover the reasonable cost of repairs.

A repair is required, but the Renter will not allow access for a Contractor to undertake the repairs

Rental Providers have the right to enter a property to undertake repairs. They have the right to bring Service Providers or Tradespeople to make the repairs. The minimum notice period of entry is 24 hours and access is between 8am and 6pm on any day except a public holiday. If a Renter refuses access, a Notice of Entry can be issued which allows the Agency to access the property using their office key.

What information can I access using the Agents Owner’s portal (Owner’s Portal)?

The owner access gives you 24/7 access to property details including tracking financial activity, all outstanding jobs, routine inspection reports and documents relating to your property.
